So I was scanning through iTunes when I saw one of my old (no pun intended) disco idols back with a new album. Who would have thought Donna Summer would have more songs other than Hot Stuff and Bad Girls to get down with. She's back with Crayons.

Stamp Your Feet sounds really dancey- like a cross between Kylie and Fergie. Or does todays music just sound alike? Haha. I don't doubt that too. I'm not a music snob that will dissect music and tell you how organic (not) this CD is. Or how the Queen is back in fighting form, with late 70's disco mixed with early 80's English techno pop. I'm pretty shallow when it comes to music. As long as it makes me dance, then it's thumbs up from me.

The other song that caught my attention was Drivin' Down Brazil. Now this track sounded so cool- I could see myself sipping a Caiprinha or Margarita while watching the sunset. I could almost see how the music video would go... too bad I couldn't find one. This was the best clip I could find:

P.S. Ignore the first 15 seconds of this youtube clip. The very 90's electronic drumbeat which reminds me of Milli Vinilli is NOT part of this song.

P.P.S. I am watching a delayed telecast of American Idol and didn't realize that iTunes featured Donna Summer BECAUSE she was in the show. Ha ha. I thought I had discovered her on my own.

Welcome to Verão

I love summer. The smell of coconut oil on skin, the taste of chilled Mango shake on your sun-kissed lips, the sound of the waves gently crashing on the shore. Everything about the season just makes me smile.I always looked forward to every beach trip come summertime, and each time I would have a special swimsuit to celebrate the season.My love for the season, and my love for the beach lead me to design my own swimwear which I will simply call Verão- meaning summer in Portuguese. Inspired by warmth and beauty of Hawaii, and the sensuality of Brazil, Verão is my personal celebration of the endless summer. Click verao.etsy.com for delicious summer crochet bikinis!
